2016 Ford F-150 complaints

MY F150 RANDOMLY JUST DOWNSHIFTED WHEN TURNING AND ALMOST ALL POWER. THEN SHIFTED BACK INTO GEAR. I READ SOME POST ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE ALSO. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED.

IT'S INEXCUSABLE FOR A CLOCK SPRING TO GO OUT ON A PICKUP THAT HAS LESS THAN 40K ON THE ODOMETER. FORD'S ARE GREAT VEHICLES, BUT THIS LITTLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE, WHICH COMES AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN, WILL COST ME BETWEEN $300.00 TO $400.00. MIND YOU, THIS CLOCK SPRING WENT OUT IN JUNE 2019, AND PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW (I) BROKE SOMETHING WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BEHIND THE AIR BAG? I DON'T RECALL IF I WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I DO KNOW ONE DAY I TRIED TO HONK MY HORN AND IT DIDN'T WORK. I TRIED TO RESET MY TRIP ODOMETER ANOTHER DAY AND IT DIDN'T WORK. I TRIED TO SET ME CRUISE CONTROL-NO GO. I TRIED TO CONTROL MY STEREO/HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH, NOPE. IT TOOK ME DIGGING ON THE NET TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD CAUSE A HORN AND THE ABOVE MENTIONED ISSUES TO SUDDENLY STOP WORKING, BUT INTERESTINGLY STILL WORKS WITH THE ANTI-THEFT ENGAGED. IF I NEED TO CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS BY NOT STEERING MY TRUCK, FORD SHOULD HAVE LET ME KNOW. BTW, I HAD A FORD ESCAPE BEFORE THIS TRUCK, AND WHEN TRADING IT IN THE DEALERSHIP DESCRIBED MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS A CHRISTMAS TREE, BUT WITH ALL THOSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, I GUESS THE CLOCK SPRING NEVER WENT OUT.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPED LEAKING. GRADUALLY BECOMING WORSE. FIRST NOTICED NOISE IN 2020.

*PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME IT IS 35DEGREES OR COLDER.* EVERY TIME SOMEONE OPENS THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR, GETS IN AND WHEN IT'S TIME TO GET OUT, AND TRIES TO SHUT THE DOOR, IT BOUNCES BACK OPEN-NEVER LATCHES. DOOR WILL NOT SECURE. WILL HAPPEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING, ETC. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND EXTRA LUBE HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME DOOR IS OPENED FROM THE INSIDE.

THE SUN/MOON ROOF HAD BEEN RATTLING SINCE EARLY 2020 - MAYBE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT IN MARCH 2019. TAKEN TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN 2020 FOR THIS RATTLE. JUST PICKED IT UP (3/20/2021) AND BOTH SUNROOF GUIDES/RAMPS CRACKED AND ALL OF IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN - WHAT IF THE ENTIRE SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE SHATTERED? THANKFULLY, WE SPENT THE $3000 ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT STILL HAD TO PAY $148 TO GET IT ALL FIXED.

I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF MY SON AT DAYCARE AND TURNED ON THE DEFROSTERS. I WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK, AND THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STATIONARY AT THE TIME. A RANK, BURNING SMELL FILLED THE TRUCK AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF. SECONDS LATER A LOUD "POP" OCCURRED AND THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THERE ARE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS THROUGHOUT THE BED AND INSIDE THE BACK SEAT. THANK GOD MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND THAT I TURNED OFF THE CAR BEFORE THE ENTIRE THING ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

2016 F-150 3.5L 4X4 ECOBOOST WITH MAX TOWING PACKAGE - VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND W/O WARNING CAUGHT FIRE AND ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF HEARING A HUMMING SOUND AND THEN SEEING WHITE OR GRAY SMOKE. WE WERE TOWING OUR 28 FT TRAVEL TRAILER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS, 30 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP ON A FLAT HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER WITHIN 1 MIN OF HEARING THE NOISE/ SEEING SMOKE. UPON EXITING, SAW FLAMES PEEKING OUT FROM UNDER FRONT OF TRUCK. FLAMES HIT THE CAB WITHIN PROBABLY 3 MINS LATER. WE HAD TOWED A 28 FT TRAVEL TRAILER WITH THIS VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY AND COMFORTABLY WITH FEW ISSUES (EXCEPT THROTTLE BODY FAILURE AROUND 30K MILES). REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. FULL PA STATE INSPECTION 3 MONTHS PRIOR, OIL CHANGE 2K MILES PRIOR. NO OUTSTANDING RECALL WORK TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. NO UNUSUAL HANDLING, SMELLS, LEAKING FLUIDS THAT WE NOTICED, OR WARNING LIGHTS. FIRE INVESTIGATOR'S BEST GUESS WAS SUDDEN TRANSMISSION ISSUE BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY BURNED AWAY BUT WE'LL UNFORTUNATELY NEVER REALLY KNOW.

I HAD JUST COMPLETED WASHING MY TRUCK IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AND WHEN SLOWLY EXITING THE CAR WASH BAY, THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT, WENT AIRBORNE, AND I CROSSED FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE I COULD GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED TO LATCH PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO ANDERSON FORD OF ST. JOSEPH (2207 N BELT HWY, ST JOSEPH, MO 64506) FOR A RECALL REPAIR UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V331000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE) YEARS PRIOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND THE CONTACT NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,200.

VEHICLE WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF DESPITE BEING OFF ON THE WIPER COLUMN.

STEERING LOCKED UP. IT FREED THEN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE EVERYTHING CAME ON STEERING ASSIST

REAR WINDOW/WINDSHIELD SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE AND CLOSING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED LOCKING UP IN CYCLE, FULL SPEED OR INTERMITTENT MODE. REPLACED $150.00 WIPER MOTOR MYSELF, CURED PROBLEM. VEHICLE ONLY HAD 48,000 MILES, COULD HAVE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AT ANY TIME, VERY DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER DURING HEAVY SNOW FALLING I WAS UNABLE TO USE DEFROST FUNCTION TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD, UPON CYCLING THROUGH ALL HEAT OPTIONS FOUND THAT ONLY THE DASH VENTS WERE WORKING. TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY STATED THE A/C BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR MOTOR FAILED. FORD OEM REPLACEMENT PART IS BACKORDERED UNTIL MID-MARCH, THEY INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET ONE BUT IT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, NOW WAITING FOR OEM PART TO REPLACE IT WITH. ONLY 57,000 MILES.

I REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE AND A FEW MINUTES LATER I LOADED MY DAUGHTER INTO HER CARSEAT AND BEGAN DRIVING. I DROVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND STOPPED TO GET OUT WHEN I REALIZED I FORGOT MY WALLET INSIDE. AT THAT TIME, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I HEARD A LOUD SMASHING SOUND. I LOOKED BACK INTO THE DIRECTION THE SOUND CAME FROM AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND SOME GLASS HAD FALLEN ONTO MY DAUGHTER. I CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEN FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND NEITHER COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGED MY CONCERN. FORD DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM ME BEFORE THEY DISCONNECTED MY CALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF, ONE OF THE RAILINGS FOR THE MOON ROOF FRACTURED CAUSING THE MOON ROOF TO REMAIN IN A PARTIALLY OPENED POSITION AND NO LONGER ABLE TO CLOSE PROPERLY. THE CONTACT CONTACTED SHARP MOTOR COMPANY INC (1516 W COLLEGE ST, PULASKI, TN 38478, (931)363-2533) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DURING COLD WEATHER THE VEHICLE DOORS WILL EITHER NOT OPEN OR WILL NOT SHUT ONCE OPENED UNTIL THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK WARMS UP. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN PREVIOUSLY FOR A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THIS MORNING MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT AFTER I OPENED THE DOOR. I HAD TO PULL THE DOOR SHUT AND FINALLY GOT THE DOOR LOCKS TO HOLD THE DOOR SO I COULD DRIVE TO WORK. ONCE THE VEHICLE INTERIOR WARMED I WAS ABLE TO PROPERLY SHUT MY DOOR. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS AND STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED A USED 2016 FORD F-150 XLT CREW CAB, 4X4, 2.7L ENGINE ON 01/29/2021. MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WON'T CLOSE/ LATCH PROPERLY, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE READ THE FORD FORUMS, AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH FORD F-150'S HAVE THIS AS A COMMON ISSUE IN COLD WEATHER CLIMATES. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR BY MY VIN # THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE OPEN RECALL. I WILL CHECK WITH FORD TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO TO REMEDY THE ISSUE.

BRAKE PEDAL IS DROPPING TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE ENGINE IS ON. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORE. I'M AFRAID THE BRAKE WILL FAIL AT ANY MOMENT WHILE ON THE ROAD.

I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP & THEY'RE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAD PURCHASED IT. THEY MADE UP EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THEM THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE RECALL ISSUE & TO COME BACK ANOTHER DAY. NOT TO WORRY THAT MY VEHICLE IS FINE. I'VE NOTICED MY TRUCK IS MALFUNCTIONING WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN & STARTS SHAKING MAKING IT HARD TO BREAK ON TIME. I NOW PUT IN THE VIN NUMBER TO THEIR WEBSITE SO I CAN SCHEDULE A SERVICE & THE WEBSITE TELLS ME THERE'S NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I UPLOADED A IMAGE OF WHAT IT SAYS SO THERE'S EVIDENCE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE. NOT ONLY DID THEY SELL ME A TRUCK WITH MECHANICAL ISSUES GUARANTEEING ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN PHENOMENAL CONDITIONS BUT NOW THEY'RE ALSO REFUSING TO FIX IT.

WHILE STATIONARY (WOULD ALSO HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION) IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT HEATERS ACTIVATED (DRIVER ON MEDIUM, PASSENGER ON HIGH), A RANDOM CLICKING SOUND (BELIEVED TO BE THE RELAY FOR THE HEATED SEATS) WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT WAS THEN NOTICED THAT THE HEATED SEATS WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING/PROVIDING HEAT, EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS ON THE CONTROLS WERE STAYING ILLUMINATED. A SHORT WHILE LATER, A BURNING (ELECTRICAL) SMELL WAS OBSERVED IN THE CAB, COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE SMELL STARTED GETTING STRONGER, THE HEATED SEATS WERE TURNED OFF AND THE SMELL SEEMED TO GO AWAY WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I INSPECTED THE SEAT HEATER CONTROL MODULE (ORIGINAL FORD PART NUMBER GU5T-14B663-AA) THAT IS LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. UPON INSPECTION OF THIS MODULE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BK-BU WIRE ON THE 12-PIN C3265A CONNECTOR HAD STARTED TO MELT. UPON DOING SOME INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG MANY NEWER FORD VEHICLES THAT USES THE SAME SEAT HEATER CONTROL MODULE, AND MANY OTHER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS A FIRE HAZZARD.

THIS EVENING ON 1/28/2021 AT 6:55PM, WHILE PARKED AT A SHELL GAS STATION IN ST CHARLES, IL ABOUT TO GET GASOLINE, THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS A VERY LOUD BANG, FOLLOWED BY A BURNING SMELL. THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS NOT TURNED ON, THE INSIDE CABIN WAS SET TO 72 DEGREES FARENHEIT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE BUT I KEPT THINKING, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE WAS GLASS STREWN ABOUT THE INSIDE AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED THE SHELL STATION LOCATED AT 2500 E MAIN ST, ST CHARLES, IL IN AN ATTEMPT TO ACQUIRE THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE WHICH SHOULD SHOW THAT THERE WAS NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE OR IMPACT. ADDITIONALLY I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH A FRIEND AT THE TIME WHO ALSO HEARD THE EXPLOSION. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STATIONARY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 80MPH WHEN THE TRUCK LOST THRUST AND SEVERAL WARNINGS CAME UP. LUCKILY, I WAS NEAR AN EXIT SO ABLE TO COAST TO THE EXIT. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO REPLACE. I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND FORD HAD A CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM TO REPLACE THEM. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. IMAGINE LOSING POWER PASSING A VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I FOUND THIS LETTER FROM FORD ON YOUR SITE: HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2016/MC-10109085-9999.PDF. NOT SURE WHY THIS DID NOT SUBSTANTIATE A RECALL.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE IN OCTOBER OF 2020. THE BRAKE FLUID LOW LIGHT IS COMING BACK ON.

DOOR WILL NOT LATCH DUE TO COLD TEMPERATURE. WILL WORK WHEN HEATED, BUT THEN REFREEZES NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO LATCH. CAN NOT OPERATE VEHICLE WITH A DOOR NOT LATCHED CLOSED AND IT IS PRIMARY VEHICLE.I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP WHO IS NOT RESPONDING TO THIS ISSUE

EXITING FROM INTERSTATE SPEED, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT LIGHT, TRUCK SHAKES AND STALLS. ABLE TO RESTART. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER. HAD LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALER FOR 3-4 DAYS WITH NO ISSUE FOUND. FUEL TANK LEVEL WEATHER FULL OR 1/4 FULL STILL OCCURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, HE STARTED TO SMELL EXHAUST GASES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED BOTH MANIFOLD WERE FRACTURED AND LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH MANIFOLDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED MIKE WHITE FORD OF COEUR D'ALENE (315 W CLAYTON AVE, COEUR D'ALENE, ID 83815, (208) 664-9211) AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

MY TRUCK WILL SHOW A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH AND DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOCK UP(70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY). THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUES AS I ALMOST WRECKED WHEN IT HAS DONE THIS. THE 2011 TO 2013 F-150S HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2016'S. TRUCK SHOWS CODE P0715.

HOOD WAS RELEASED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY (IT DIDN'T OPEN ALL THE WAY DUE TO THE SAFETY CATCH UNDER THE HOOD). THIS IS ABOUT THE 6TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IOVER THE LAST 2 YEARS BUT FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WE STOPPED USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE WE THOUGHT MAYBE OUR FOOT WAS ACCIDENTALLY HITTING THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER ON THE INSIDE PANEL. THEREFORE, THIS MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED, WE DIDN'T HAVE A FOOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER THE ENTIRE TRIP. HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP 2 YEARS AGO WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY APPARENTLY DIDN'T FIX IT OR DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON ROUTE 5 IN ENFIELD CT, WHEN I NEEDED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO REACTION FROM THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, I HAD TO GO UP OVER A CURB INTO GRASS TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES AND GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW/STOP WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AVAILABLE. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A BUILDING.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUD BOLT BROKEN ON REAR OF DRIVERS SIDE MANIFOLD. MAKES A LOUD CHIRPING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME ISSUE ON THIS ECO BOOST 3.5L ENGINE.

BRAKES WON'T HOLD FLUID OR STOP

ELECTRIC TAILGATE OPENING GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WAS FIXED AFTER YOUR RECALL. IT IS NOW OPENING AGAIN ALSO PUSHING THE ELECTRONIC BUTTON DOES NOT OPEN THE LOCK WHEN TRUCK IS NOT MOVING.

ELECTRIC SYSTEM WENT DOWN, NO LIGHTS,TURN SIGNALS,HORN WIPERS, ETC. (RADIO KEPT WORKING) ENGINE STARTED AND DROVE HOME VERY CAREFULLY

I REMOTE STARTED THE TRUCK WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, WHILE I GOT MY SON READY FOR DAYCARE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WAS RAINING AND ROUGHLY 35 DEGREES. ONCE MY SON WAS LOADED INTO THE CAR SEAT I CLOSED HIS DOOR AND HEARD THE WINDOW CRACK. I LOOKED BACK TO SEE THE BACK REAR WINDSHIELD HAD SPIDER WEBBED AND SHATTERED. THE GLASS WAS BLOWN FROM THE INSIDE OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF WERE THE DEFROST STRIP HAD ARCED/SEPARATED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS ON THE EXACT SAME MODEL OF TRUCK. I WAS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE WAS TO PULL THE DEFROST FUSE.

WHILE DRIVING IN A REMOTE AREA NO TREES, PEOPLE OR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE WINDOW, WHEN THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED. THE EVIDENCE SEEMS TO POINT TOWARDS THE REAR DEFROST HEATING ELEMENTS GETTING TOO HOT. ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE HEAT DEFROST WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES 55 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THE FIX IS NOT COMPLETE YET BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT SAFELITE AUTO TO GET THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. I CALLED FORD, THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $679.00.

DRIVER DOOR DID NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSING IT. AFTER HEATING IT UP AND OILING IT, IT LATCHED AGAIN.

TRUCK WILL STALL/SHUT OFF AT A STOP WHILE TOWING. RED BATTERY LIGHT WILL SHOW ON DASHBOARD. CAR WILL TURN OVER THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN BY ITSELF WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT THIS POINT- ONCE WHILE IN GAS STATION IN LINE TO GET GAS (STATIONARY) ONCE AT INTERSECTION (STATIONARY AT STOP LIGHT), ANOTHER TIME AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE TO GET GAS. AT FIRST EVENT 30 MINUTES AFTER IT NOT WORKING A JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY, AT SECOND INSTANCE JUMP WOULD NOT START CAR, HAD TO GET TOWED, AT THIRD INSTANCE WE WERE ABLE TO START VEHICLE BY HOLDING THROTTLE DOWN WHILE PUTTING IN DRIVE. BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP- SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, WOULD NOT WORK ON TRUCK, SAID NO COMPUTER CODES WERE FOUND.

DOORS WILL LOCK BUT UNLOCK WITH KEY AFTER PUSHING BUTTON ON KEY ONLY ONE DOOR WILL UNLOCK

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GOES BELOW FREEZING, MY DOOR LOCKS FREEZE AND YOU CANNOT GET INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE IN MY DRIVEWAY, AND IS INOPERABLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS ON THE INTERNET.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, MY F-150 STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE AND SHOWED NOTHING. FOLLOWING THIS I HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED 3 TIMES. I WAS EXPERIENCING 'LIMP MODE' WHERE I'D BE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK WOULD GO FROM 65 TO 20 IN SECONDS WITH ONLY A "BING" SOUND AS A WARNING. I RESEARCHED ON LINE TO LEARN WHAT THE CAUSE MIGHT BE.AND DETERMINED IT WAS PROBABLY THE ETC SENSOR/KNOCK SENSOR. MY REGULAR MECHANIC WOULD REBOOT? THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND IT WOULD WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. I FINALLY WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE TRUCK. DUE TO THE UNPROFESSIONALISM OF THIS DEALERSHIP, I WAS COMPELLED TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE OFFICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT, THEY WERE NOT IN A LARGE ENOUGH NUMBER TO WARRANT A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING BECAME FIRM BEFORE CEASING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION FORD BRADENTON (5325 14TH ST W, BRADENTON, FL 34207) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OR FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,650.

REAR DEFROSTER SHORTED OUT. OVERHEATED AND CAUGHT THE PLASTICS ON FIRE. THE WINDOW THEN SHATTERED FROM THE EXCESS HEAT FROM THE REAR DEFROST. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 28 DEGREES. REAR DEFROST AND HEAT WERE ON FOR THE VEHICLE. WHILE TRAVELING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE INTERNALLY. THE CAR WAS PULLED OVER, AND SHUT OFF. THE SMOKE STOPPED AND THE WINDOW SHATTERED. THE PLASTIC AND SEAT SURROUNDING THE REAR DEFROST CONNECTION TO THE WINDOW WERE MELTED.

HI, WE'VE EXPERIENCED TWO BRAKE FAILURES ON OUR FORD F-150 PICKUP. THE FIRST TIME WAS 17 JUNE 2020 ON FRONT RIGHT BRAKE. DEALER TOLD ME WE HIT SOMETHING AND CHARGED $500 TO FIX IT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I STARTED IT UP AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND UPON INVESTIGATION, I FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE AREA.. THE SECOND EVENT WAS 11 DECEMBER AND INVOLVED FRONT LEFT BRAKE. FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN BRINGING VEHICLE TO A STOP AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM OUR TRAVEL TRAILER AND WE WERE PULLING FORWARD TO SEPARATE FROM OUR TRAILER. TRUCK IS AT STOCKTON FORD, FORT STOCKTON, TEXAS. READ ONLINE THAT THIS ISSUE WITH FORD'S IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I GOT PICTURES AND MY VEHICLE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED TOMORROW BUT I WILL MAKE IT AVAILABLE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT. TOM MONAHAN

MY 2016 FORD F-150, AT AROUND 68,000 MILES, BEGAN TO EXPERIENCED POWER LOSS AND A LOUD WHISTLE OR WHINING SOUND DURING ACCELERATION, COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. DURING ACCELERATION, A HIGH-PITCHED WHINE OCCURS AND INCREASES WHEN REVVING THE ENGINE. TRUCK POWER LOSS WAS NOTICEABLE AND BOOST DECLINED, DROPPING TO LESS THAN 25%. EXHAUST FUMES WERE NOTICEABLE FROM INSIDE THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. DEPAUL FORD OF ALBANY, NY MISDIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD TURBO WITH A STUCK OPEN WASTEGATE AND SO WE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE TURBO, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MECHANIC 'TECHNICIAN', MATT, AT MILLER'S CORNERS GARAGE IN ALBANY, NY. HE DISCOVERED THE BOLTS AND STUDS THAT HOLD THE MANIFOLDS IN PLACE WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND THE MANIFOLD WAS WARPED WITH SIGNIFICANT AIR LEAK AND BLOW BY. THERE WAS A LARGE BLACK SOOTY STREAK ON THE MANIFOLD SIDE WHERE THE TURBO HOOKS UP, WHERE THE BLOW-BY WAS OCCURRING. AT A COST OF $1100 THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD, HARDWARE AND RELATED COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED. THE DRIVER SIDE MANIFOLD IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM FORD UNTIL LATE DECEMBER AND STILL REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IS DRIVEN IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. IT IS RARELY USED FOR TOWING. IT'S ABSURD TO THINK THAT A TRUCK WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE WOULD HAVE SUCH A SEVERE AND EXPENSIVE ISSUE, SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASING ENGINE POWER, REDUCING THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE AND BRINGING FUMES INTO THE CAB. THIS SHOULD BE A RE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAC HAIK FORD (10333 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77024, (713) 932-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAD FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. JUST STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TURNED ON BY ITSELF. MOMENTS LATER THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED.

SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE. WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THAT I WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID WHILE DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY BETWEEN TOWNS. AFTER HITTING OK, RED BRAKE LIGHT WARNING REMAINED ON. WITHIN A MINUTE I LOST MOST BRAKING ABILITY. I PULLED OVER BUT SAW NO LEAKS UNDER THE TRUCK. WALKED TO A NAPA DEALER AND BOUGHT BRAKE FLUID AND FILLED RESERVOIR. GOT SOME BRAKE ABILITY BACK BUT WITH IN A FEW MINUTES, BRAKE PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VERY MINIMAL BRAKING ABILITY. STILL NO LEAK FOUND UNDER THE TRUCK. I CAN NOT USE THE TRUCK WITH LIMITED BRAKES. FORD RECALL #20S31 SHOULD INCLUDE MY 2016 MODEL BUT FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT- EVEN THOUGH MODEL, MAKE, YEAR AND SYMPTOMS THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN INVOVED IN A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT.

MISSING/LOOSE BOLTS UNDER DRIVER SEAT MAKES THE SEAT WOBBLY/ ALSO LOOSE BOLTS ON THE RECLINING BACK MAKES IT SHIFT/RECLINES FURTHER BACK.
